Pinching pennies? Chic but cheap? We understand. Here are three free events this week for your going out pleasure.

Tuesday, July 29

- Squabble @ Good Life: Sad to see the weekend go? Get thee to this financial district bar on Tuesday for a rollicking, funky time. Members from various local bands unite under the same groove — you'll hear some originals and rowdy covers of "Mustang Sally," "Use Me," and randomly, "Psycho Killer." Qu'est-ce que c'est? 8 p.m.-12 a.m.

Thursday, July 31

- Shopping Under the Influence @ the Achilles Project: Let's try a little experiment. Stop by this chic Fort Point boutique's sale/party and see whether multiple complimentary cocktails prompt you to plunk down plastic for designer duds. Fifty percent off some sale items should help ease the shopping hangover. There will also be a DJ and free food. 6 p.m.

Friday, August 1

- "Surf's Up" @ the Hatch Shell: Due to copyright issues, wbz.com can't list the movie titles in its family-friendly free movie series at the Hatch Shell. Instead, there are little clues on each date — you can then call the 617-787-7200 to check if your guess is right. We brought out our best sleuthing skills to determine that "When this surfing penguin enters a big competition he quickly learns some important life lessons" refers to 2007's "Surf's Up." Celebrate the little victories in life, people. 8 p.m.
